The folks at Downslope Distilling would like to Thank Mr. Ed Hamilton for an outstanding seminar on Rum Production and Tastings.
We highly recommend any seminar Mr. Hamilton conducts for people in every aspect of the business.

Over a period of 2-1/2 hours, Ed took us on a delightful tour of the world of rum, exposing us to the incredible
diversity of his favorite spirit by tasting offerings from Jamaica, Guyana, Nicaragua, Barbados, Brazil, Martinique and even a small artisanal
distillery, high in the mountains of Colorado. Each of the rums was chosen to illustrate different
ingredients and manufacturing techniques.

We tasted rums made from sugar, molasses, and fresh sugarcane juice; rums made on pot stills and
column stills; rums aged three months and rums aged 15 years. The ability to compare ten, very different rums at one sitting,
combined with Ed’s casual and knowledgeable narrative, made for a very special evening.

Anyone who makes their living with adult beverages or who simply wants to learn more about this amazing elixir,
needs to jump on a plane or train and get to a Ed Hamilton Rum Seminar.
